Enjoy - and ask yourself: doesn't history keep repeating itself?

What an interesting and action-packed life this Mark Lane has lead...

"Mark Lane (born February 24, 1927) is an American lawyer and conspiracy theorist who has written many books, including Rush to Judgment and A Citizen's Dissent, two major books published in the immediate wake of the John F. Kennedy assassination that questioned the conclusions of the Warren Commission."

" In 1960, he was elected to the New York Legislature, serving in the New York State Assembly, where he served for one term with the support of Eleanor Roosevelt and Presidential candidate, John F. Kennedy. "

" In 1962 he ran for Congress in the Democratic primary and lost. In the 1968 presidential election, Lane appeared on the ballot as a third party vice-presidential candidate, running on the Freedom and Peace Party ticket with Dick Gregory."

"Lane applied to the Warren Commission to represent the interests of Lee Harvey Oswald, but the Commission rejected his request."

"Lane wrote Murder In Memphis with Dick Gregory (previously titled Code Name Zorro, after the Central Intelligence Agency's name for King) about the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., in which he alleged a conspiracy and government coverup. Lane represented James Earl Ray, King's assassin, before the House Select Committee on Assassinations inquiry in 1978.

"You're using this conspiracy theory as an excuse to avoid sex with me.""Oh my god -- she's right."

The JFK assassination was the archetypal "conspiracy theory" in our time, not just in the sense of revealing a hidden truth but of covering it with a unsolvable puzzle even harder to use."JFK is my favorite movie" ~ Alex Jones

The above clip is from the well known Woody Allen's "Annie Hall", 1977. (Almost the amount of years after JFK separating us from 9/11, which means that in a sense they were better off than us. No Hollywood director would dare representing 9/11 "conspiracy nuts" today as anything but lowlife scum).

I think that the role of the "conspiracy theory" as a cointel cultural weapon is perfectly exposed here, next to the pretexts for humor. To fully absorb the attention of the individual, especially of the male, to the point of twisting his social standing, without moving him any closer to being able of hurting the system -- AND/OR to be used subconsciously by him to avoid engaging in the social.

And yet the official story doesn't make any sense, and the rational, critical individual cannot accept this. What an entrapment! I praise the day I encountered the idea of media fakery, which avoids me both accepting idiotic propaganda and fake history, as well as having to find an alternative rational story to fit official "events".

Another JFK conspiracy film, from writer / director David Mamet, which will star Cate Blanchett..

"Blanchett plays Janet, who travels to Los Angeles for the funeral of her grandfather, a Hollywood visual effects artist who moonlighted for U.S. special ops agencies. Her grandfather’s well-kept secrets become a threat to her, forcing Janet to discover the truth about a man who dedicated his life to making illusion reality."

The photographer credited with taking the LBJ inauguration photo seen above is also credited with taking the only photograph ever published showing John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe together which was touched upon twice in the following Cluesforum topic.

If you didn't catch it in the wiki, another odd sidenote about this photo/photographer is that the photo was appraised on Antiques Roadshow for PBS. (Video at the link)

APPRAISER: Not that one. Not that one. And here, we should add also, of real significance is the fact that you are acknowledged by Lyndon B. Johnson with his inscription to you. It says, "To Cecil Stoughton, with high regard and appreciation. Lyndon B. Johnson." Now, can you tell us about that?

GUEST: On the 25th of November was the funeral for the president. And three days after that was Thanksgiving. And, uh, our family, we were all gathered together around the table getting ready to eat, and a waiter came up to me and said, "You've got a phone call from the White House." And I went to the phone, and it was Jack Valenti saying, "He wants you in the office right now. He wants you to take his picture." So I gave up my Thanksgiving dinner and drove madly back to the White House and made this photograph of Johnson sitting at his desk. In order to have some kind of activity, I asked him if he would sign the pictures. So he's signing this picture, and that's the picture that he's signing.

...

APPRAISER: And you've got some incredible things, and it's an honor to meet you. These images I knew of my entire life, and I appreciate your work and I'm glad you finally have some recognition.

When JFK have exit politics the scene is open for the wrongdoers to ignite the Vietnam war.It is clearly possible to smuggle JFK out of Dallas, and replace with a dummy body, but as this is insignificant for the outcome I vote that he was shot dead in Dealey Plaza.

You can vote however you like but it would be helpful for you to address some of the questions raised by Culto and others. Namely, how do you explain the lack of blood on Jackie's dress and the other anomalies in the Zapruder film?

There is no need to kill any of these actors also known as politicians

At least we , CFers shouldn't fall for this false paradigm that there is some kind of strategy/vison associated with "democratic leaders" .

"Assassination" of John Fidgerald Kennedy was just another psychological operation designed to influence mass human mental model , American or world wide .

He wasn't in a position to endanger any evil plans, none of them ( presidents , congressmen , kings or whatnot ) is or ever was . Puppets are put in their positions because somebody has to sign some papers once in a while.

They don't rule or influence anything of real importance to the way world works and the only harm they can possibly do is in my opinion acting stupid during public appearances .

JFK wasn't shot to death that day in Dallas but in the minds of the sheeple he was and this is all that counts
